Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling with two oppositely directed sockets for plug two shielded data cable to be connected together according to the preamble of claim 1, as in US 4,799,901 is disclosed.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a coupling which is on the one hand sufficiently robust for use in an industrial environment and the dimensions on the other hand are sufficiently small, so that the coupling can be installed in different industrial flanges.
  • the coupling has two sockets for receiving the connector of the data cable to be connected to each other, the connector is designed today in most applications as RJ 45 connector.
  • the coupling has the shape of an elongated cuboid, at whose end faces in each case the bushings are arranged, so that the two bushings are aligned with each other in the longitudinal direction of the coupling and are arranged in the opposite direction of insertion.
  • a circuit board is arranged, which carries the two sets of contacts for the connectors and connects the respective corresponding contacts of these two sets of contacts via interconnects.
  • the printed circuit board is accommodated by two partial shells made of an insulating plastic, which electrically insulate the printed circuit board on the one hand and stabilize the printed circuit board against mechanical stresses on the other hand.
  • the subshells with their enclosed circuit board form an assembly that is inserted into a housing.
  • the housing is electrically conductive and is preferably made of metal.
  • the housing can be produced as a metal die cast part, preferably as a zinc diecasting part.
  • the housing has the shape of a U-profile, which thus forms three longitudinal sides of the cuboid coupling.
  • the assembly with the printed circuit board inserted into the housing is covered on the fourth open longitudinal side of the housing by an electrically conductive end plate.
  • the housing together with the end plate forms a shield which encloses the coupling on all four longitudinal sides and leaves only the two front sides with the insertion openings of the sockets for the connector to be connected free.
  • To the End plate contact lips are formed, each of which engage in the interior of the sockets and contact the shield of the plugged into the sockets plug.
  • the end plate directly connects the shielding of the plug inserted into the coupling, so that the plug contacts and the conductor tracks of the printed circuit board connecting them are enclosed by an all-round, closed metallic shielding.
  • a simple and cost-effective production and assembly is preferably achieved in that the circuit boards receiving sub-shells are formed as identical half-shells. These can be rotated by 180 ° from each other rotated by the two longitudinal edges on the circuit board to accommodate them. Conveniently, the two partial shells abut one another in a longitudinal center plane and are joined together in a suitable manner, so that the assembly formed from the partial shells and the printed circuit board is held together sufficiently for further assembly.
  • the assembly is suitably used together with the end plate from the open longitudinal side into the housing and can be conveniently locked in the housing.
  • a locking device in the longitudinal center of the housing i. arranged between the two sockets.
  • the end plate may conveniently also be locked to the housing, so that the entire coupling is mounted solely by snap-in connections. It is thus a simple quick installation possible, which requires no additional assembly tools.
  • the cross-sectional dimensions of the coupling are essentially determined by the cross section of the plug contour of the bushes. This plug contour is enclosed only by the shielding housing. This results in minimal cross-sectional dimensions of the coupling so that the coupling can be used in the various standardized industrial flanges.
  • the housing and the circuit board stabilizing partial shells ensure a robustness of the coupling which is also suitable for larger mechanical loads in industrial use. Since the printed circuit board and the plug contacts are shielded on all sides, a high interference immunity of the coupling is ensured.
  • a coupling which serves to connect two shielded data cable via RJ 45 connectors.
  • the coupling has the shape of an elongated cuboid, on whose two end faces in each case an RJ 45 socket for receiving the data cables attached to the RJ 45 plug is formed.
  • the two bushes are arranged axially aligned with opposite directions of insertion.
  • the coupling has a printed circuit board 10 which carries the contacts 12 of the two sockets.
  • the contacts 12 are formed as contact springs, which are pressed into the circuit board 10.
  • RJ 45 connectors corresponding to each 8 contacts 12 are provided for each socket.
  • Each corresponding to each other Contacts 12 of the two jacks are interconnected via printed conductors of the printed circuit board 10.
  • the printed circuit board 10 is received by two partial shells 14.
  • the partial shells 14 are of identical construction and are pushed onto the printed circuit board 10 by the two longitudinal edges of the printed circuit board 10, so that each of the two partial shells 14 receives one half of the printed circuit board 10.
  • the partial shells 14 have a base-side frame 16, which rests against the underside of the printed circuit board 10.
  • a U-shaped pocket 18 is formed in each case upwards into which the respective end edge of the printed circuit board 10 is inserted.
  • the partial shells 14 engage around with these pockets 18 in each case the end edges of the printed circuit board 10, so that the printed circuit board is held in the partial shells 14.
  • An upwardly angled longitudinal edge 20 of the partial shells 14 serves as a stop when pushing the partial shells 14 on the circuit board 10 and covers the longitudinal edges of the circuit board 10 on the outside.
  • a bridge 22 is formed at the upper edge of the longitudinal edge 20, which extends in the transverse direction above the frame 16. Between the frame 16 and the bridge 22, a gap remains free, the vertical width of the height of the circuit board 10 corresponds. If the partial shells 14 are pushed onto the printed circuit board 10 by the two respective longitudinal sides, the frames 16 rest on the underside of the printed circuit board 10, the bridges 22 slide between the contacts 12 over the upper side of the printed circuit board 10.
  • the partial shells 14 are made of an electrically insulating material, in particular of a plastic and are preferably produced in one piece as plastic injection-molded parts.
  • the partial shells 14 electrically insulate the printed circuit board 10 and stiffen the printed circuit board 10 against mechanical stress, in particular against a bending stress.

  • the free lower side surface of the housing 40 is covered by an electrically conductive end plate 60.
  • the end plate 60 is preferably a metal sheet stamping and bending part.
  • the assembly formed from the partial shells 14 and the printed circuit board 10 is inserted together with the end plate 60 from the free underside into the housing 40 and locked in the housing 40.
  • an inwardly projecting transversely extending locking web 48 is formed in the longitudinal center of the housing 40 on the inside of the profile yoke 44, which ends in a widened head 50.
  • the head 50 is formed at its free inner end with inlet slopes 52 and forms on the detent web 48 laterally projecting locking lugs 54.
  • the latching hooks 30 When pressing the head 50 into the receptacle 28, the latching hooks 30 are first pressed apart by the interaction of the inlet slopes 52 of the head 50 with the inlet slopes 32 of the latching hooks 30 until the head 50 has penetrated into the receptacle 28. Then snap the locking hooks 30 resiliently behind the locking lugs 54 of the head 50, so that the partial shells 14 and thus the entire circuit board 10 receiving assembly is fixed in the housing 40, as shown in figure 2 you can see.
  • the dimensions of the end plate 60 correspond to the dimensions of the lower side surface of the housing 40.
